Descriptions:
Costunolide, a sesquiterpene lactone isolated from the root of Saussurea lappa Clarke, has a variety of biological activities, including anti-carcinogenic and anti-fungal activities,
it inhibits IL-1beta gene expression by blocking the activation of MAPKs and DNA binding of AP-1 in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells. [1]
Costunolide induces the ROS-mediated mitochondrial permeability transition and resultant cytochrome c release,which is one mechanism of the anticancer effect of costunolide. [2]
Costunolide has antipyretic and anti-inflammatory activities, intraplantar injection of costunolide also reduced the paw oedema, myeloperoxidase. [3]
Costunolide(20mg/kg bw) possesses normo-glycemic and hypolipidemic activity and hence it could be used as a drug for treating diabetes. [4]
Costunolide can reduce the viability and arrest cell cycling at mitosis in hepatoma cells, also enhance the killing effect of radiotherapy against human HCC cells.[5]
